United States IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index analyzes the attitudes and outlooks of Americans on the economy. A countrywide survey of 900 persons was used to create the index, which evaluated the economic forecast for the next six months as well as personal financial outlook and trust in federal economic policy. A reading of greater than 50 implies optimism, while a reading of less than 50 indicates pessimism.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
